3. Playa Blanca – Colombia

A short boat ride from Cartagena, Playa Blanca delivers white sands and clear Caribbean waters straight out of a postcard. While daytime crowds are common, staying overnight lets you enjoy a more peaceful, authentic vibe. Sunrise over the beach is a sight you’ll never forget. For the best experience, bring cash, book a beachfront hammock stay, and enjoy the simple pleasures of sun, sea, and sand.
